Today is Wakana's birthday. She was born in 1960 so you do the math. I gave her the traditional birthday card (I make them and include pictures of the animals), a couple of movies I recorded from the TV (Metropolis & Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow), and one purchased movie (Onmyoji II). I also gave her a thumb drive loaded with music. Her new car has a USB port where she can plug in the drive and listen directly from there.

This evening I took her out for dinner at Hoa Mai in Agat. I had previously purchased a small apple cheesecake and some candles. I gave it to the owner and asked that it come to the table as our desert.

I had sweet & sour pork and Wakana had fried pork chops with Fene Dene. The owners are very friendly and they are Chinese (real China, not Taiwan). It is tradition in China that you have to eat noodles on your birthday. So, we had just finished our meal when the cook showed up with a bog steaming dish of noodles, vegetables, and chicken. We couldn't refuse so we ate some of it and they packaged the rest. Now we are too full. We didn't eat the cheesecake. I intended to share it with them. I feel like I am about to burst.

Tomorrow morning we are going to see Harry Potter.
